This thread is starting to remind me of a story I once heard on the Art Bell show (a late night radio show on paranormal topics), called "Mel's Hole". It was about a hole in the ground of his family property in Washington state that was mysterious to them. Anything they dropped into the hole, a dead cow, a dead car, garbage, etc, would never make a single sound. No crash or bang. They stopped trying to measure the depth at about 80,000 feet (24000m)?! They lowered a bucket of ice cubes deep into the hole, left it there for a few hours, then pulled it up. The ice cubes were still frozen solid but now were hot to the touch. Rumors it was a hole built by aliens they used to go into inner earth and all that It got weirder, too, especially when he did Part 2 a couple years later. Really weird.
Finally, after what must've been over 4 hours of this story on the radio, the guy, Mel, finally let's out that the reason he had to move from Washington state, was the feds were after him. "Oh so why where they after you?" Art Bell asked. He said they wanted what he was growing in his greenhouse and put in him their special ops program but he didn't want to work for them (or that's my memory of it anyways). Long story short, it took still a bit longer for Art Bell to finally suss it out of Mel...Mel was growing psilocybin mushrooms in his greenhouse near the hole!
"AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh......." said Art. "You've got to be kidding me! You've been growing mushrooms???"

If you want to listen to the original episode (there are two more even weirder), here's the link:

Despite the fact that "Mel" never existed in the area he claims to have lived and he was likely in la-la land of shrooms, it was hands down one of the single most entertaining stories I have ever heard in my life!
